Women In Residential Property

Leasehold Reform - why, when, what does it mean for the industry and for our clients?

The escalating ground rents scandal led to the development of a package of reforms designed to make it easier and cheaper for homeowners to buy the freehold or extend their lease, and to take control of the management of their block of flats or an estate. The reforms also aim to improve commonhold to make it the preferred alternative to leasehold.
